RE:                 OSP deadlines over the Winter Break, Dec. 21, 2018 – Jan. 2, 2019

________________________________________________________________

 

This is a special announcement concerning the OSP schedule for reviewing/approving proposals with deadlines to federal and other agencies that occur during Winter Break this year. 

 

Please note:

 

1. All proposals with submission deadlines occurring between December 21, 2018 and January 3, 2019 must be fully routed, ready for submission, and released to the OSP office by the close of business on December 17, 2018; and

 

1. All proposals with submission deadlines occurring between January 3 and 4,, 2019 (the first 3 business days after the break) will be due to OSP by the close of business on December 18, 2018.

 

This schedule is consistent with our current policy, which requires the submission of complete proposals to OSP at least three business days before the agency submission deadline, since OSP will be closed during the Winter Break. 

 

The campus closure during Winter Break will cause a heavy workload on OSP staff, so we will enforce our current policy more consistently.  Proposals received after the OSP deadlines specified above will be reviewed on a first come first serve basis and will be submitted only if time permits.  

 

Thank you for your understanding.
